= How to change the link text from 'Next quote »' to something else? =

Make sure your theme's header.php file has the code `<?php wp_head(); ?>` just before `</head>`. If you still experience the problem, [contact](http://srinig.com/wordpress/contact/) the plugin author.

Make sure your theme's footer.php file has the code `<?php wp_footer(); ?>` just before `</body>`. If you still experience the problem, [contact](http://srinig.com/wordpress/contact/) the plugin author.

= I have added a number of quotes, but some of the quotes never get displayed in the widget. Why?

68

69

If you want all of the quotes to display, make sure all all the quotes fall within the 'Character limit'. There is an option named 'Character limit' for the widget (bottom most, under the 'advanced options') with a default value of '500'. The value can be changed, or simply removed and the field left blank so that none of the quotes get filtered out based on length.

= Why multiple instances of the widget is not available? =

72

73

There can be conflicts and undesirable behaviour when more than one instance of the random quote function call is used in the same page, especially with the ajax refresh turned on for all the instances. It is for this reason the multiple instances of the widget is currently unavailable. For the same reason, it is not advised to use the `quotescollection_quote()` function call more than once in the same page. And for the same reason, the ajax refresh option is not made available for the shortcodes. These limitations shall be overcome in a future version of the plugin.

Yes, pagination is supporterd in versions 1.5 and greater. `paging` and `limit_per_page` attributes can be used to achieve this. For example, `[quotcoll paging=true limit_per_page=30]` will introduce pagination with a maximum of 30 quotes per page.
